Two Arrested in Romania for Ordering 50 Grams of Amphetamine from the Netherlands

Romania’s Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) arrested two men on November 3 for drug trafficking and international drug trafficking. DIICOT’s Bacau Territorial Service announced the arrest on the official press release site on November 7.

DIICOT Investigators believed the two men ordered a package from the Netherlands in late September using the internet. From the press release:

There is reasonable suspicion that in September 2016 the defendants Serban Marius and Rachiteanu Eusebius-Gabriel initiated steps to acquire high-risk drugs. In this case they accessed networks to track down and get in touch with a provider of amphetamine abroad, in clandestine conditions.

The men were in contact with an amphetamine vendor from the Netherlands, sources explained. After establishing contact, Marius and Eusebius-Gabriel placed an order for 50 grams of amphetamine. Bitcoin was used as the payment method.
